Made one realise just how hard it was for early settlers and even for those who came here on the £10 scheme! There is an I tear active area for children which both grandson and grandad enjoyed.
well organized with good programs. very good for singles and families.
play ground for children is fair and there are some entertainment.
big place so plan it in advanced...
Having been succinctly inebriated across an entire trip of the city and bar section of Melbourne, left 800, and 1000 dollars respectively out of pocket. We haphazardly wandered across a gorgeous looking park, with a water fountain that was surrounded by a white plastic sheet - not a very good job of hiding it - probably because the statue was twice as big. As we couldn't get into the old gothic stlye building, which appeared to be with a university? We wandered around, saw he museum, and figured that would be next best. The forest / nature walk was a bit of a bore. The blue bird i thought could have been one of those usa drones as it was very robotic.Unhelped that it wouldn't take our blue offering. I'm unsure its ever built a nest properly before either - or been kept in captivity. My favourite exhibit was the taxidermy - assuming this look was the last the animal ever gave. And mind exhibits was also fantastic. The secret to the code is not another 9?¿ Also that dinosaur with the cap - ROFL. Hopefully a good throw.
The exhibitions are interesting & look out for major block-buster events. A great gift shop. Also find out about lectures that occur inn the evenings - they are great.
The museum seems to be struggling for focus as while there were a huge number of school parties with attendant noise levels, the content of the exhibitions is thoughtful and very well constructed - just the noise levels take the shine off. Melbourne history exhibits in particular are very good.
